"What a beautiful life we all are given! Sure, it's got some hurdles every now and then, but in the end, all rain does is make the flowers grow higher and prettier. I hope I get to share some of your flowers with you, and maybe spend some time playing in the puddles with you while it's pouring."

A dear friend of mine posted this quote to her blog and I absolutely loved it. We go back to Atlanta in November for more hearing tests. We are pretty nervous as we will begin to get a better idea of Nate's hearing. We pray that we will have better results, but as the quote states it is about the journey that we will go through. We know that we are lucky to have treatment options, but we hope that he will be able to hear.

He is doing so good. He is really reaching for things and holding on for dear life..including my hair. He is happy all the time, especially after his naps, and I enjoy every moment with him. My heart melts every time he gives me one of his giant smiles. He is such a sweetheart.

Nate really liked his second go round in the high chair. We tried peas for the first time and he really liked them. I think we are going to skip rice cereal all together.

Nate is one of those babies that doesn't spit up...He throws up. He really gave us a good soaking and all I could do was laugh. It was all over him and me, including in my hair.
